Bash is one of my favorite programming languages. Not for production. Writing significant production Bash that others have to use and maintain is more of a struggle than it is worth. But for personal use? Hitting APIs, organizing data, writ

I don't think bash really fits the type of program to have interactive tutorials. If you are serious about your command-line-fu its worth giving the manual a good read. bind -P | grep '\\e' https://www.gnu.org&#x2F

I tried using ZSH. My first experience was using a bunch of plugins like zsh spaceship and having the shell slow to a complete halt. I then used "stock zsh" and running commands was fine except some autocompletes like git-autocomp

A critical shortage of cloth? What's depressing is how politicized the virus has become. How someone feels about the job the WHO has done is probably tied more to their political beliefs than to reality. If we can't say that the W

Let's pretend that such a projection exists and we can assign people to points on the cartesian plane. This begs the question, how do the points change over time? Mathematically speaking, we can add to our model by assuming there is so

Cultural change where people no longer see people with different political beliefs as part of their "outgroup".

This is the book, thank you for responding. In general, I appreciate how old the book is because its removed from all modern political discussion yet the advice applies the same. I also appreciate how it has fans on all sides of the politic

What massive group of people is not indistinguishable from a cult? A book exists that argues that all mass movements (religion, cults, political parties) have very similar characteristics and can be analyzed with the same lens. I have no do

I support super-colliders for the same reason I support space research. If we aren't on earth to discover something greater than ourselves, what purpose do we have? I could see the creation of a utopia or an equitable state as another

I support the decriminalization of all drugs from both a libertarian and humanitarian perspective. That being said, the numbers geek inside of me always hates how out of context statistics usually are. For instance, how do these rates compa

Doesn’t this just mean the police will buy from Palantir now? This problem needs a legislative solution.

I haven’t seen any concrete numbers. That’s what keeps it in “slogan” territory for me. I’ll admit to not looking very hard for numbers as a failing of my own. I want to see suggestions, for any major city, how much of their budget we shoul

Near the start of my career I was at a small/medium sized company on a tiny engineering team (3.5 people). We also had a lot of responsibility. Naturally we did the only thing we could and formed silos and worked in our individual silo

This comment chain is mildly toxic and (ironically) proves that HN is similar to social media. Any political post seems to have the same divisiveness that traditional social media has. That being said, HN does have logical and helpful techn

I agree with the part about moving marijuana off of schedule 1. It has no business being there and is _entirely_ under the president's control. In my opinion he should have completely de-scheduled it federally. That is perhaps a little

Merge requests seem to merge both branches in to each other. This is not the behavior I would expect. It doesn’t seem to be that way on github but I could be wrong. I see this behavior when to long lived branches are merged. My git-fu is av

If increased voter turnout helps your political party, you are likely to support it. If it hurts your political party, you are likely to be against it. When talking about politics its hard to tell whether or not people "believe X becau

I’m pretty sure you pay taxes to the state you physically are in while doing the work. So if you leave NY temporarily and work remotely from FL you will no longer have income tax while you are in FL.
